Mingmen Family

Chapter 116 Move Out Immediately

"My lords, these poems and essays were all found from the books in his bedroom. The evidence is conclusive. We dare not hide this matter, and we must report it to the emperor. Please don't bother me, otherwise, we will all be dealt with as accomplices." .”

"No, no. Your Excellency handles the case for a reason. Naturally, we will not question your Excellency. Your Excellency, please." The gentlemen said hastily.

That's why the general judge asked the guards to collect the poems and escort Song Yifeng to the yamen.Tired of hearing Song Yifeng's grievances, the guard brought a rag from somewhere and stuffed it into Song Yifeng's mouth.

Mrs. Yu came with Tongpan and others. Seeing his son being arrested and being escorted all the way to the Yamen, he screamed and wailed.

Knowing that the emperor doesn't like to involve other people, and this matter doesn't need to be tried at all, you know it has nothing to do with Yu Shi, and Yu Shi doesn't have the culture to write about it, right?Therefore, Tong San didn't intend to take care of Mrs. Yu.

It can be seen that Mrs. Yu is like this, so she simply asked the guards to arrest her and send her to the Yamen, saying that she would be interrogated together.

Song Yifeng was gagged and unable to speak, so he could only shake his head desperately at Mrs Yu with a "huh huh".

Mrs. Yu is also awake at this time, knowing that she is outside, she can still go around to beg those gentlemen of her son, even the Ye family; no matter how bad she is, she can even deliver food to her son.

But if he also went to prison, it would really be over.

So when she got to the hall, she didn't dare to cry anymore; Song Yifeng said that this matter had nothing to do with her mother, so she just lowered her head and wept, not daring to say a word.

Qi Zhipei also had no intention of involving the innocent, so he let Yu go.Song Yifeng had conclusive evidence and was sent directly to prison.Guizi refused to report and was also imprisoned.

As for how to make a verdict, whether to get rid of fame, whether to serve in exile, he still has to hand over the dossier to the capital.After all, Song Yifeng is a juren, and he committed a literary case. Only the emperor can decide whether he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Yu came out of the yamen and returned home in a daze, wanting to discuss with Cui Zijin what to do next.But he didn't want to see the gate of the courtyard closed tightly, and General Tie guarded the door.

There is no shortage of spectators anywhere.The lord of the yamen came to search the Song family with his guards, and some of the neighbors went to the government school with him, followed them to the yamen, and followed them back now.

At this time, there was no one in Yu's house, but the landlord was standing in the crowd, chatting enthusiastically with the neighbors who hadn't gone, so these people didn't go home, and surrounded the Song family again.

Those who didn't go, hurry up and ask; those who have gone, tell everyone about the situation.

After listening to the general situation, the landlord learned that Song Yifeng was arrested and imprisoned for writing rebellious poems. She quickly stopped Yu Shi who was about to open the door and said: "I can't rent the house to you. You move out quickly, but Don't bother me."

"We paid one month's rent. We've only lived here for less than half a month, so you can't drive us away." Yu Shiqiang said with vigor, and pushed the door open.

"I'll give you back one month's rent, and you move out immediately." The landlord refused.

Yu Shi ignored the landlord and walked in like a wandering soul, but saw that the door of Cui Zijin's room was wide open, and from a distance, it seemed that the inside was empty.

Mrs. Yu hurried over to take a look, and saw that except for a wooden bed left by the landlord, other bedding, cages, and Cui Zijin's daily necessities were all gone.

The same is true for Cui's mother's room next door.

Both houses were tidied up, as if no one had ever lived in them.

Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried back to her room. Seeing that everything in the room was still in order, as if no one had touched it, she was relieved.But the tears she had endured all the way finally flowed out, and she cursed: "Little whore."

Where does she not understand?Cui Zijin saw that her son was taken away by the guards, so she took her own things and left.

Yu Shi sat on the edge of the bed slumped, his mind was blank, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know who else he could talk to.

After retiring from the marriage, he had no money, but there was Cui Zijin and her maid in the family, so Yu sold the cook and Xiaoxiang——Xiaoxiang was actually bought by Zhou Xiang.After buying it, he helped her go to the yamen to get rid of her slave status, and restored her freedom.

Now Guizi is also being imprisoned.

She was alone in the house.

When the Song family bullied their mother and son, she took her son and fled to Lin'an City, and she had lost contact with the Song family long ago.Even if the Song family found out about her son's household registration when her son took the exam for a scholar, she hurriedly bought the house that was compensated to the Ye family and moved, lest Song Yifeng's grandma, uncle and cousins ​​would come into the city to cause trouble and damage the family. It ruined Song Yifeng's reputation.

The Song family didn't get any benefits from Song Yifeng's admission to the scholar and Juren examinations; now that Song Yifeng is in trouble, there is absolutely no way for them to lend a hand to help.

As for the Ye family, don't even think about it.Because of the resignation, the Ye family probably hated their mother and son to death. Hearing that Song Yifeng was imprisoned, they might applaud. How could they contribute money and effort to help?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yu covered her face and began to cry.

"Don't cry, pack up your things and leave." The landlord took out three hundred coins and waved them in front of Mrs. Yu, "Pack up your things and go out, and I will return the three hundred coins to you."

Someone saw Yu's pity, and said: "Madam Qian, why don't you let her go for two days. Tell her to go after two days. Since the yamen released her, she is not guilty if you want to come. Just stay here and live. It's okay to wear."

Lady Qian turned her head to look at that person, her gaze was sharp: "If she can't bear to hang herself here, are you responsible?"

The man shrank his neck immediately and stopped talking.

But when Mrs. Qian said this, everyone could understand.

Such a good house, if Mrs. Yu hanged herself here, Mrs. Qian would not be able to rent out this house, which would be a big loss.

"If you leave immediately, I will return the three hundred yuan to you, which is regarded as giving you half a month to live in vain; if you don't leave, then I will not refund the rent. When you live for a full month, I will not I will rent it to you again, and you will have to leave when the time comes. You should think about it carefully."

Yu Shi still shook his head.

She knew it was better to check out than to stay here.

It's just that when they moved, they moved all the furniture and everything in the house.There are also her and her son's clothes and bedding, and her son's pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books.These are worth a hundred taels of silver at least.

She can't just leave with a burden.

Besides, what if the son comes out of prison without incident?She left, where did my son go to find her?
She said hoarsely, "I'll stay for another half a month."

Lady Qian stared, but there was nothing she could do.If she forced her too much and Yu Shi couldn't bear to think about it, it was she who forced her to death.

"Okay, I'll allow you another half a month. But remember, your son is still in prison waiting for you to deliver food. If you die, your son will not survive."

Yu Shi nodded numbly.

Only then did Lady Qian take the people away.
